As revealed yesterday, Hasbro and LEGO have teamed up to create the first official Transformers LEGO building set! Check out the press release with all the info you need and official images below:
The LEGO Group and Hasbro unite to reveal the new, fully converting LEGO® Transformers Optimus Prime, launching June 1
Back in February it was rumored that Hasbro and LEGO would be collaborating on a Transformers build set. This would mark an unprecedented partnership, especially after Hasbro's in-house brand KREO was discontinued outside of small releases at discount retailers. Now thanks to multiple sources we have confirmation that the set is real! First, the Official Transformers Facebook Page posted the short video below:
As a follow up to yeterday's reveal of Impactor and Swindle set, we now have our look at the next "Wreck 'N Rule" collection pack: G2 Leadfoot and Masterdominus! G2 Leadfoot is a retool/redeco of Mirage based on the G2 Rotor Force team member. Masterdominus (with a very punny name) is a retool/redeco of Ractonite. The set is $44.99 with a November 1, 2022 release date.
The folks over at Takara Tomy Mall have posted a new reveal: Studio Series Arcee! No, not the one from the Bumblebee Movie but rather one geared towards being part of the Studio Series 86 line! This Arcee appears to be a redeco and retool of the Thrilling 30 figure, and surprisingly not the recent Earthrise/Kingdom release! This is cool in my book since I consider this the superior figure to use as a foundation.
It has been a while since we have heard about new Masterpiece releases, but that time has finally arrived! Thanks to the folks at Cybertron 21 on Youtube we now have a mirrored video from Takara Tomy introducing Masterpiece MP-56 Trailbreaker! Based on the character's appearance in the G1 cartoon, this figure comes with a bunch of accessories calling back to episodes that featured the classic Autobot.
Via the Official Transformers Facebook Page we have an announcement of a new set of Amazon/Hasbro Pulse shared exclusives: the Wreck 'N Rule Collection! You can order this set now on Hasbro Pulse and Amazon.
Here's the Facebook description:
Hasbro Designer Sam Smith has posted some awesome behind-the-scenes information about the upcoming Masterpiece Blackout figure. You can see the turnarounds on Instagram for Blackout in robot mode, vehicle mode and Scorponok. I attempted to embed the turnarounds but they caused some odd site issues.
It's "Transformers Tuesday" and Hasbro has revealed several upcoming releases via Facebook! The releases go across the spectrum from a Siege based "Red Cog", toy color versions of Terrorsaur and Dinobot and Masterpiece Blackout. Check out the blurb on these figures and photos in the gallery below.
Thanks to the folks at In Demand Toys in the UK, we have our first look at two upcoming Studio Series Voyager Class figures: Galvatron and Thundercracker! No word on a release date just yet. For now, enjoy the pics!
Months ago it was revealed (in part by early in-store finds) that Micro Machines would be adding Transformers based vehicles to their collection of micro-sized, stylized vehicles. Little word has come out about these toys officially - until today! Hasbro has posted a stop motion animation of the Bumblebee Camaro/Playset for the vehicles and Amazon has posted a few listings for products available to ship now!
